RIVER ITEMs.-The ice continues solid on
therver and as yet no attempt has been made
to open channel The mild temperature
of to day has had but little effect on the ice.
The tug Templar broke track from her
dock to the ship yard this morning and will
there be fitted with an ice pillow after which
she will proceed down the river to the as
ss;ance OF the New York steamer John Glib
sou. which is now at Yeocomico. Capt.
Geo. Young. of the Gibson, arrived here
TO day and reports the ice as being heavy
below. The tug Samson, arrived at Bati-
more, yesterday with the tug Jupiter, which

up at Hollerng Point. Capt. Delano en-
countered ice twelve inches thick. Capt.
J. H. Bailey. of Yeocomico, arrived in Balti'
more yesterday, and reports the cutting

Headquarters Army Of PotOmac juno II. 1853
To General Pleasonton If you think your scheme
can succeed in regard to Mosby, do not hesitate as
to the matter of money. Use your own judgment
and precisely what you think best for the public
interest. RUFUS INGALLS,, Brig. Gen.
The date OF Pleasonton's letter is just
three days after his cavalry combat with
Stuart at Brandy Station and at the time
Lee, who was Ell route for the invasion of
Pennsylvania, was confronting Hooker at
Cupeper. Mosby was operating in the rear
of Hooker's army, and threatening his line
of communication with Washington. Two
days before Mosby had made a successful
raid into Maryland. Colonel Mosby says
that no proposition, either directly or indi-
reetly, ever came to him from Pleasonton,
or any one else, to betray the cause, and at
no period of his military career was he more
active, or caused more damage to the Fed
eral cause than in the months of June and
July, 1868. Col. Mosby will, it is under
stood. call upon Gen. Pleasanton for a state
ment of the reasons which induced him to
write his letter TO Gen. Ingalls,.

MASTER RALPH BINGHAM.-The Port Jer-
Wis (N. " Weekly Gazette speaks as follows
of Master Ralph Bingham: "The two last
entertainments given at the Reformed
Church in this villsge-the Browne Organ
Recital aud the Bingham Readings-seem
to suggest the propriety of further benefit
ting this community by something more of
the same sort end equally as good as we
have witnessed onthese occasions. Certain
" this noble building even if dedicated to
the noblest of all purposes, could not be put
TO better uses during any one of the secular
days Of the week, than by fostering taste
for that which is superior to respectable
mediocrity, or which is sure to be free from
Objectionable features to refined and inteIli-
gent people. So long as the craving for di
version and entertainment exists, it will be
simply waste of time to argue against the
usual and popular forms of amusement, be-
cause vicious and degraded standards Of
taste are occasionally uppermost, but the
church might consistently point the way 10
the ideal, and provide something higher
and purer to crafty that demand which al
ways will exist for better things. So, in
common with ali who attended their recent
performances hope that the church peo-
pie will furnish us this coming winter with
more Of the same class of entertainments
that have been enjoyed with so much unal-
loyed pleasure as on these interesting coca
sions, and which | am sure will always re-
ceive the heartiest kind of welcome"

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.-Ihis body heid
its annual meeting at the Columbia Engine
House last night. VIM. a. Smoot, esq, IL
the chair; Geo. T. French, ESQ.,, secretary,
and Messrs. j. Park Agnew, Richard Il.
Carne, J. Carlia Creighton and John Har
low attending. The report of the commit
tee on laws aud regulations was taken up
in committee OF the whole, and carefully
considered and amended. The only
changes made are in simplifying the regu:
lations and repeating such as apply to hand
companies only. The long mooted and dit
/ Gcult question as 10 speed in going TO ilres
was finally settled by forbidding the 'reck,
less running of engines or hose carriages"
Mr. Carne offered new proposition for
submission to the City Couucl, "a follows:
"Seclion j. There shall also he ell cted by
the Git; Council, at The same time with the
PRINCIPAL wardens, one warden Tor each
company, recommended by it, who may be
member thereof Such watdens shall be
numbered respectively five, six and seven.
and shall not he members OF the board CT
wardons."
He explained that his object in offering it
was 10 get into the department some active
young men who would represent the COM
pauies better than their Presidents, who
were mostly old fremen, while the princi-
pal warGens were prohibited by law from
I being fremen at all. After conversation
al debate, in which it was generally thought
best 10 consider the matter more carefully,
the proposed amendment was, on his m mo
ton, laid over until future meeting. Inc
committee having risen, reported its action
to the department, whereupon it was unan.
imousiy adopted as to tho regulations and
bylaws, ard the secretary was directed to
lay the proposed amendments to the code
before the City Council, and request their
passage Mr. j. c. Creighton was then
elected treasurer and at 1880 the depart
ment adjourned.

Qualifications.

Election commissioners have no right
to pass upon the qualifications of candi-
dates for the Legislature (nor any Office.
Each branch of that body decides for
itself all questions as to qualifications.
In case from Augusta county a few
years ago the man who had received the
certificate of election resigned, and the
Governor ordered a new election ; but
he soon saw that he had invaded the
province of the House of Delegates and
revoked the order OF election. We be-
lieve the House of Delegates ordered a
new election. but it could just as well
have seated the contestant. At any rate
the Governor had no right to decide the
question.
To allow election commissioners to
certify the election of JONES because in
their opinion Brown is ineligible would
be to empower them to elect the whole
Legislature-a dangerous power in the
hands of any set Of men, but doubly
dangerous IN the hands Of such men as
MALONE controls.

A Republican Explanation.

The ST. Louis Gi0bC-Dem0crGt (Radi-
cal Republican,, in commenting on the
result of the election in Virginia, says 4:
"The majority for that party in the
Legislature chosen on Tuesday will also
he large. The Democratic victory in
Virginia simply means that the regular
Republicans were unable to make head
way against a combination of the entire
Democracy Of the State with a powerful
section Of boiling Republicans who were
antagonistic to ex-senator Malone. Had
the Republicans of Virginia been united
in the late canvass there is strong pro-
liability that they would have chosen a
majority of the members of the Legisla-
ture just elected in that State"
powerful section of boiling Ropub-
LEANS" bosh. However, the Globe
Democrats explanation is as a whole
about the best it could do, seeing that
the completeness of the Republican de-
feat gave the organs no excuse for offer
ing the explanation agreed upon before
the election. That explanation was OF
course embodied in the cry of fraud,
which MALONE proposed TO use as
charm to maintain his hold on the ma
lignant leaders and az a means Of per-
suading them that it was still possible for
him to deliver the State overto SHERMAN
in 1888.

HaIsrEAD. What says the national o., =
gan Of SHERMAN Is he ready and will
ing to furl the bloody shirt?
The peht.

We have for some time been inclined
to the belief that the success OF the
Democratic party in Virginia in the fall
elections would induce the bondholders
To renew the attempt to settle the State
debt--this time substantially upon the
terms offered in the RIDDLEBERGER bill.
Messrs. JONI A. HAMILTON & Co., OF
Baltimore, who congratulate our people
on the defeat Of MALONE, make in their
last circular such remarks as lead us to
hope that our forecast will prove TO be a
true one. They say
"Now that Malone is defeated, there
Will be q better chance of n satisfactory
settlement OF the debt. The English
bondholdors appear to agree with as in
this respect, rs the defeat Of Mahoneism
is the signal for buying movement in
Virginia bonds, and large orders were
cabled over to buy the day after the
election. Consols advanced to 30 bid,
without bringing out any bonds, and
1O-4O's went up to 37B.
"The Virginia Legislature will be in
session again during the ensuing winter,
and we believe that another effort will he
made TO settle the debt, and that it will
be successful. When the debt commits
sion met last spring there was so little
difference between tho representatives of
tho State and bondhoIders that it would
appear another conference would result
in settlement. The inducement for an
amicable settlement is so great on both
sides that it is incredible that a compro-
mise may not be agreed upon. AS there
will be no further political contest for
two years, such an obstacle has been re-
moved, and We doubt not that n mutual
ly acceptable plan may be formulated
and accomplished.
Sir EDWARD THORNTON and Mr..
BRAITHwAITE must have fully in
formed the Council Of Foreign Bond
holders in London what terms the Dem
ocratic Legislature had offered as the
Virginia ultimatum. It is with this
knowledge that they cable for more Viz
ginia bonds.
